I had a pint of Wells banana bread beer the other night and thought it was a great change of pace. I decided to try a very simple recipe to duplicate it, but maybe a tiny bit sweeter. (This uses real bananas, rather than using a hefe yeast at high temps.)
Here's the recipe I made last night, scaled to make 1.5 gal:
32oz (70%) 2-row
10oz (20%) med crystal 40L
6oz (10%) flaked wheat
1/2 oz Fuggle at start of boil
1/2 oz Goldings at 15 min
English Ale yeast (dry)
4 ripe bananas, mashed, added to primary at start of fermentation
I might add a little vanilla and cinnamon before bottling.
